Gu Shen... was indeed escaping.
After pulling Song Ci away from Red Lake, he used the fastest speed possible to travel.
Each exit of Light City was guarded by Cloud Ships.
Although these Holy Judges were quite powerful, they were far inferior compared to Gu Shen.
To ensure a smooth departure... Gu Shen even used [Truth]!
At first, Song Ci could keep up with Gu Shen's pace.
But after leaving Light City, Gu Shen's speed kept surging, even he was stunned; he'd never seen Gu Shen run this fast in his life!
"Damn it..."
Finally, Song Ci was pulled onto the iron sword condensed by [Truth], gasping for breath, he looked back at the bustling city disappearing into the night, still in a daze.
Song Ci felt bewildered, as if dreaming.
"Gu Shen, are we just leaving like this?"
Two minutes ago, he was still at Red Lake.
Two minutes later, he couldn't even see the shadow of Light City!
"Being able to leave is what counts as leaving!"
